Welcome to Chill & Explore, a website where we share our passion for travel, hiking, and photography. We are Elliot and Sharmina, a husband and wife duo who love to explore the world and document our adventures.
We decided to start this website as a way to share our experiences and tips with other travellers and hikers who want to discover new places and challenge themselves.
What We Do
We write about our global travels, covering destinations in Asia, Europe, Australia, and beyond. We also write about our local travels, especially in Hong Kong, where we live. We try to visit new places, try new food, and experience different cultures as much as we can.
Elliot loves hiking and has completed hundreds of hikes in Hong Kong and Australia. He is always looking for new trails and scenic spots to explore. He takes high-quality photos and videos on all of his hikes and shares them on the website.
He also creates detailed guides along with instructions with arrows to show the optimal path. He rates each hike by taking into consideration the scenery, easiness, trail condition, safety, and popularity among locals. His goal is to make hiking more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. He tries and completes a hike every week (weather permitting).
Sharmina’s hobbies include art, photography, and videos. She enjoys doing new things and learning new skills. She likes to capture the beauty and diversity of the places we visit and create artistic expressions of them.
She also enjoys finding travel hacks and making the most of our money. She does this by travelling on a medium budget, where we don’t sacrifice on new experiences but make adjustments when it comes to some over-the-top luxuries such as luxury stays and shopping.
Why We Do It
We believe that travel and hiking are not only fun and rewarding activities, but also ways to learn and grow as individuals and as a couple. We think that by exploring the world, we can also explore ourselves and discover new perspectives and possibilities. We hope that by sharing our stories and insights, we can inspire and help others to do the same.
We also believe that travel and hiking are ways to connect with nature and appreciate its beauty and diversity. We think that by respecting and protecting the environment, we can also contribute to a better and more sustainable future for ourselves and others. We hope that by showing the wonders and challenges of nature, we can encourage and educate others to do the same.
